any thoughts on duo's use of the preterite rather than the imperfect here? The "always" suggests ongoing, while the lack of a need to say it anymore suggests completion.
In contexts like, "we always used to go to the candy store", duo pretty consistently uses the imperfect.
I would have thought that 'always ' or 'siempre ' always <g> triggers the imperfect.
Is it that a thought can only occur to you once, instantaneously?
